7 David sent for Tamar in the palace, saying, “Go to your brother Amnon’s house and make some food for him.”
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house, and he was in bed. Tamar took some dough and pressed it together with her hands. She made some special cakes while Amnon watched. Then she baked them.
9 Next she took the pan and served him, but he refused to eat.He said to his servants, “All of you, leave me alone!” So they all left him alone.
10 Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom so I may eat from your hand.”Tamar took the cakes she had made and brought them to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.
11 She went to him so he could eat from her hands, but Amnon grabbed her. He said, “Sister, come and have sexual relations with me.”
12 Tamar said to him, “No, brother! Don’t force me! This should never be done in Israel! Don’t do this shameful thing!
